Dear Quang,
Writing Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs) based on previously available Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) that lack complete Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), tensile, hardness, and toughness reports may not comply with standard practices and regulatory requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the situation and the guidance you need:
PQR Completeness:
Code and Standard Compliance:
Verification:
Audits and Inspections:
AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding Code – Steel):
ASME Section IX (Welding, Brazing, and Fusing Qualifications):
Complete the PQR Documentation:
Consult Relevant Standards:
Seek Expert Consultation:
Writing a WPS from an incomplete PQR is not compliant with standard practices and regulatory requirements. It is essential to have complete documentation, including all test reports, attached to the PQR. This ensures the validity of the WPS and compliance with standards such as AWS D1.1 and ASME Section IX.
If you need specific documentation references, the following sections from the standards will be useful:
Ensure that your PQRs are fully documented before proceeding to write WPSs to avoid non-compliance and potential issues during audits or inspections.
